The Columbus Blue Jackets skated at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday. The Maple Leafs held an optional skate. Kirill Marchenko wanted out of Columbus. On Tuesday night, he returns to the Ohio capital with his new team. And the 26-year-old Leafs winger isn’t sure how he’ll be welcomed back. “I really appreciate fans in Columbus when I played there,” Marchenko told reporters following Monday’s win over the San Jose Sharks. “It will be awesome, good time, and I don’t want to say anything else because I don’t know what they will do. It’s not on me. It’s not my control right now. I just focus on my game.”Marchenko led the Blue Jackets in goals in each of the last three seasons before making a messy exit from the franchise that drafted him in the second round in 2018. The Jackets will be welcoming back Marchenko at some point during the first period, but there is no video tribute planned. “I really don’t know what to expect,” said defenceman Zach Werenski. “I know he was a fan favourite when he was here. I’m sure they’re a little upset with how it ended. I’m sure they’ll voice it if they are.”“I think it will be an exciting game,” said winger Mathieu Olivier.
